I don't think the SEC effectively regulates FINRA, amongst numerous other shortcomings of the SEC. The SEC is captured by the FINRA because they have a nice revolving door in place. I do believe naked shorting is pervasive especially with vulnerable bio-techs. It's worth reading about Robert Byrne's fight with the financial industry on this subject. The system is rigged against the small investor. This I am sure about.
